Ozone AQI 151-200 Children and people with asthma are the groups most at risk.

Everyone else, especially children, should reduce prolonged or heavy exertion outdoors.” ‘Prolonged’ generally means lasting four or more hours with short rest periods. ‘Heavy exertion” is that which would increase the resting breathing rate four fold or greater. You can reduce exposure to ozone by: – Exercising in the morning before air quality reaches unhealthy levels – Reducing the intensity and duration of your outdoor activities in the afternoon – Remaining indoors during pollution episodes

July 2, 2019 at 10:40 AM NortOps: Lower elevations (below 3000′) will see increasing grass fire occurrence in July, and the potential of fires there growing to large sizes is Above Normal. Middle elevations (3000-6000 ft) will gradually dry out a normal to slightly slower than normal rate, reaching above normal significant fire potential in many areas by late July or August. El Niño patterns during summer months tend to correlate with a prevailing SW-W flow aloft, leading to fewer monsoon surges into the North Ops region, and therefore, less lightning occurrence than usual. Full report: NorthOps Significant Fire Potential Forecast July through October

A persistent low pressure system over the Pacific Northwest will bring moderate daytime temperatures to NorCal over the next few days.
